I have had a fairly remarkable week so far!
I was invited to write a feature review on 3 SA books which have been nominated for Le Cordon Bleu Food Media Awards, I have just been given another book to review and yesterday I had a visit from a journalist and photographer from our daily paper. They came up to do an article on my home cooking and my blog which seems to be catching some eyes!!!
They wanted me to cook something so that they could photograph me (stomach being sucked in for the whole time!! :o) while they interviewed me.
I was highly organised with the kitchen spotless (not it's usual state) and I had made the dish early in the morning so that I had a spare in case of disaster.
Which then struck! I plunged my hand into the sink to finish the dishes and sliced into the top of my finger with my big chef's knife. I nearly took the whole top off and proceeded to bleed all over the floor and cupboards. A shock for the slumbering teenage daughter who was hauled out of bed to clean up the blood.
If you happen to see the article (in the Taste section of the Advertiser, probably in a couple of weeks) that will explain why I am making a chicken pie with a glove on!

Oh Amanda, that's dreadful ??? Just when you were so organised too. Look forward to seeing you star in the local paper, did you give the TMX a cameo appearance?

To be honest, Judy, I have no idea what I said to her! (Samela Harris)
I was quite nervous.
-
You nervous, now that's hard to believe ;D ;D ;D
-
Ouch!!! :o
Bet it still goes brilliantly!! ;)
-
Well congratulations and kudos to you! Remember, Julia Child used to cut herself all the time apparently! So, you're in good company.
-
Amanda, how exciting. Wish I lived in S.A so I could see the report. I am not surprised you are famous, you are a true FOODIE.
-
Oh you poor thing Amanda. But how exciting for the article too! You'll have to scan the article and pop it on your blog for us non South Australians to read ;)
-
Wow.... please please put the article on your blog and keep some bandages close to your knifes ;)
-
Congrats on the press, commiserations on the filleting. You aren't related to my wife are you?? :D
Russell.

You poor thing - great news about the reviews and photo shoot etc. Bummer about the hand - ouch.
Know what you mean about sucking the stomach in .... so funny, when I had my photo for the Age newspaper article on gadgets the pic chosen was one that had my gut behind the TMX and actually made me look reasonable. The house/kitchen was like it had never been cooked in ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Great work with the blog - looks like you have a new best friend ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

Yes, it does look that way, doesn't it!? ;)
Many thanks to everyone for your good wishes.
Finger healing nicely.
I will try to find some way to show you all the article if/when they run it!
